Abstract

It was found that directional coarsening was induced by phase transformation stress due to non-uniform distribution of μ phase in an experimental nickel-based superalloy. The mechanism based on the existing diffusion and coherency strain energy theory has been discussed. It was concluded that directional coarsening was the course of dissolving of γ′ portion with high free energy, diffusing and growing on the existed γ′ particles along a preferential direction.
